### Example 1: Basic Motor Control using Arduino
This example demonstrates how to control the A2212 motor using an Arduino board and the Simonk 30A ESC.
```c++
const int motorPin = 9; // Pin connected to the ESC signal wire
void setup() {
pinMode(motorPin, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
// Set motor speed to 50% (127/255)
analogWrite(motorPin, 127);
delay(1000);
// Set motor speed to 100% (255/255)
analogWrite(motorPin, 255);
delay(1000);
// Set motor speed to 0% (0/255)
analogWrite(motorPin, 0);
delay(1000);
}
```
### Example 2: Drone Control using PX4 Autopilot and Raspberry Pi
This example demonstrates how to control the A2212 motor using a Raspberry Pi running PX4 Autopilot and the Simonk 30A ESC.
# Set up the motor interface
motor = px4.MotorInterface(3) # Motor 3 is connected to the Simonk 30A ESC
# Set the motor speed to 50% (0.5)
motor.set_speed(0.5)
# Wait for 1 second
px4.sleep(1)
# Set the motor speed to 100% (1.0)
motor.set_speed(1.0)
# Wait for 1 second
px4.sleep(1)
# Set the motor speed to 0% (0.0)
motor.set_speed(0.0)
# Wait for 1 second
px4.sleep(1)
```
When using the A2212 motor with the Simonk 30A ESC, ensure that the ESC is properly calibrated and configured to match the motor's specifications.
Always follow proper safety protocols when working with high-current and high-speed electrical systems.
Ensure that the 1045 Propellers are properly attached to the motor shaft and securely fastened to prevent damage or injury.
By following these code examples and technical specifications, you can effectively integrate the A2212 1400KV BLDC Motor and Simonk 30A ESC with 1045 Propellers into your RC drone projects.
